French right wing kingside: Le Pen and Bardella battle for power

The article discusses growing tensions between Marine Le Pen and her political protégé Jordan Bardella within France’s far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Once seen as a power duo, their relationship has deteriorated, with both vying for leadership. The conflict escalated after a court allowed Le Pen to run despite her pending criminal conviction, prompting Bardella to withdraw from public view and seek solace elsewhere. Meanwhile, Le Pen has reasserted family control by bringing back her niece Marion Maréchal into the fold, raising concerns about Bardella’s position in the hierarchy. The situation reflects broader internal struggles over influence and succession within the far-right movement.
